THEY rob trains in Pennsylvania as
well as in Texas. In this state a few
desperate men took their lives in their
hands and cried out "stand and deliver"
in Pennsylvania trusted employees, who
doubtless shared in the northern horror
of "Texas crime" conspired deliberately
to rob the trains which every obligation
impelled them to guard and protect. 1t
is difference not in criminal instinct but
in civilization, and whatever may be said
of Texas crime, It's perpetrators are less
detestsble than towards and sneaks and
betrayers and hypocrites. 1t is the
crime of the prairie vs.. the crime
of the city, and every manly man will
have more respect for the stage robber
than for the defaulter.

Mlsslssippian, Mr.. Crawford, and is OF
such recent date that as yet majority Of
the cotton planters in the south are prob
ably not aware there is such an apparatus.
1t Is one of the most important inven
tons, so far as the cotton industry is
concerned, of the century, taxing rank
with the cotton gin. Where it's opera
tons have been tested the results have
proven in every way satisfactory, and
what is highly important item, the ma
chinery is simple and comparatively mex
pensive. The process is said to divest
the seed, absolutely, Of every particle of
lint, leaving it bald and clean. This in
yention means more money for cotton
growers, for it will give them a larger
yield Of lint, which has heretofore been
wasted, and also leave the seed fully as val
liable for oil mill purposes. 1t was prob
lem, this thorough cleaning OF the seed,
that has long engaged the attention OF cot
ton growers until finally most of them had
decided the solution was impracticable.
Mr.. Crawford, however, is the genius
who has come to the rescue, and his in
vention will ard ought to make him a
rich man. Nobody will grudge him his
good luck for he has done great service
forcotton growers. The Mississippi papers
are enthusiastic over the workings of the
Crawford cotton cleaner and declare that
it has met the most severe tests, proving
more than equal to every emergency. 1t
is to be hoped it can be manufactured on
a scale to permit of its early utilization
throughout the entire cotton growing
region.

BY THEIR ACTIONS.

The officers elected last week in this
city were yesterday indicted into Office.
Among these are three aldermen and q
city marshal who were chosen as indie
pendent candidates, the remainder of the
elect being Democrats. THE GAZETTE
but voices a general feeling when it says
that some apprehension exists as to the
action of the Independents. THE GA
ZETTE is both a Democratic newspaper
and d Fort Worth paper. and as such
Will wait and judge these men
by what they do. If they were all Demo-
Gratis and pursued ipolicy detrimental to
the best interests of the city, THE GA
zETTE would condemn such action. And
THE GAZETTE Will commend the action
Of these Independents If it be to the up
building and glory of Fort Worth. By
their actions let these Independents be
judged, just as Democrats would
be, and let every friend of the city
credit these independents, who are citi-
zens of Fort Worth, with devotion to it
until their actions eyince zeal for class
interests rather than for the public good.
THE GAZETTE stands ready to indorse or
condemn, as their actions may deserve,
without reference to their politics or to
our own preference for candidates who
were defeated.

FRIENDS of John Sherman will be ex-
ceedingly sorry to hear he IS poor, yes,
very poor. Mr.. Moulton says, and Mr..
Moulton ought to know, that John Sher-
man OF Ohio owns no bank stock, or
bonds in the Union Pacific; in short none
of the fabulous wealth attributed to him
is his. How such an impression could
get abroad is incomprehensible, since il
is well known that Sherman had to 60
home from Washington "to fix up his
fences" However, as this government
is an eleemosynary institution, sweet
charity may yet be evoked to aid in seat,
ing John Sherman of Ohio in the presi
Dental chair. In that case it is to be
hoped that he is not only "born Of
poor but respectable parents" but honors
his lineage.

THE admirers of the theories of Henry
George are contemplating the organiza-
ton of a society to be styled "The anti
Poverty Society,"" AS anti is generally
rendered "opposed to-" this society may
be considered world-embracing, for If
there is any phase OF existence universally
disliked, it is that of poverty. How this
state OF affairs is to be averted, Henry
George in his theories fails to explain,
and that he deems it necessary to have
some money is made clear by the an
nouncement that there will be member
ship fees and fines. Like some other So
cieties, this offers future possibility Of
a defaulting treasurer.

GENERAL BUTLER has been called upon
to give an account OF the spoons, and
finds it rather difficult to prove himself in
nocent or ignorant. The required testi-
mony is in suit for the recovery Of the
sword and other valuables belonging to
General Twiggs. The south is willing to
let bygones be bygones, but q Major
General figures rather ludicrously in the
role of hunting up bed and table linen be-
longing to another. The bed made has
not proved of downy softness, and the
refrain, "Tell US what became Of the
spoons" cannot be much Of a lullaby.

EVEN the detractors of the Presidents
fair fame are compelled to acknowledge
that in his letter to Mr.. Steele of the
American Fishery Union, he sounds no
uncertain note as to the retaliatory meas
ures which 1t msy be necessary to enforce,
in case the Canadian authorities persist
in their course. He does not consider
that any fishermen shall be exempt from
the penalty, but, as he says in his letter,
the object contemplated is "to maintain
the national honor, and thus protect all
our people" Regarding the affront as
national, anything short of full retaliation
would fail to meet the exigencies Of the
case. The letter throughout is calm snd
dignifed in tone, but there is also mani
tested quiet determination to face the
issue as becomes the chief magistrate of
a great people.

TEXAS should get herself divided into several
states When a great drouth appeared there
1t might then be in some other state.-ILouis-
Vile Courier Journal.
And if 1t were divided there would not
be so many murders in one state, nor
dance-killings, nor cattle ranches, nor
staked plains, nor pine trees, nor sugar
plantations, nor wheat fields, nor cotton
farms; but for all that, Texas will not
"divide itself into several states" The
world will learn after awhile how big
Texas is, and understand that drouth or
a murder here has not the significance as
similar misfortunes and crimes in small
er states. A drouth in Texas may
be very sad affair, and yet
affect but small portion of the state
and so our murder record will not be so
bad as represented when the immense
size of the state, its population and thou
sands of miles of border are considered.

THE BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUS
TRY.

THE BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUS
TRY.
The untimely death of Colonel S. P.
Cunningham, the southern representative
of the United States Bureau of Animal
Industry, robs Texas of man who was
untiring in his efforts to promote the live
stock interests of the state. More or less
friction has existed for wears between
Texas drovers and northern cattle
men, growing out of the dread
of splenic fever, but largely ow-
ing to the work of Messrs. Cunning
nam and Taylor, the western employees
of the bureau, 8 line has been drawn by
the national authorities, marking the in
fected districts, and cattle were moved
sarily quarantined. While Texas interests
were promoted, those of northern ranch
men were protected, as not single case
of splenic fever resulted from last
seasons drive. The movement of Texas
cattle to northern ranges has already
commenced, and the death at this time of
the man on whom northern sanitary off
Gals relied to enforce the res trictions
necessary to protect their interests, is q
public calamity. Colonel Cunningham's
place will be hard to I'll, for few possess
his versatile talents and enjoy, as he did,
the confidence of ranchmen throughout
the entire range country. While Texas
mourns Colonel Cunningham's death, and
respects his memory as one of her truest
sons, the work he had in hand must 60
on, and someone found to fulfill the du-
ties of his responsible position. We are
satisfied that Commissioner Colman will
be guided by the wishes of the cattle
men of Texas in the selection of Colonel
Cunningham's successor, and we trust
that a new appointee will be selected
without delay.
The failure of the last Legislature to
enact any live stock sanitary laws,
leaves Texas cattle interests exposed to
ruin from the admission OF cattle from
the old states, affected with contagious
pleuro-pneumonia. Commissioner Col
man IS on the eve of issuing circular to
the managers of transportation compa-
MES, notifying them of the localities
in the United States where contagious
pleuro-pneumonia exists, and calling at
tention to the severe penalties for NOV
ing infected cattle. Railroad managers
have always shown a willingness to do
all in their power to protect the cattle in.
dustry from disease, but it was not pos
sible for them to refuse shipments even
of dangerous cattle without action being
first taken by government authority
which would protect them as common
carriers in enforcing necessary restric-
lions. We call attention to this matter
to indicate the Importance of the bureau
work, and the necessity of having for our
new inspector q man who can be relied
upon to protect the country by an intelli-
gent and conscientious discharge of his
duties.
